FERTILIZERS IN ROTATION. 



As an illustration of the use of manure and commercial fertili- 

 zers in a rotation, the following, based upon successful farm 

 practice on rather heavy loam of retentive character, is sug- 

 gestive. 



First year. Potatoes on sod land. 



Second year. Corn for silage. 



Third year. Seeding with oats. 



Fourth year. Hay. 



Fifth year. Hay or pasturage. 



First year. Plant with potatoes on sod land, early plowed the 

 preceding fall and worked to a good seed bed. Apply formula 

 No. 3, page 143 in the drill at planting. A crop of 250 to 300 

 bushels will have removed all the plant food of the commercial 

 fertilizer and much of that of the sod. 



Second year. Corn on stable manure and commercial fer- 

 tilizer. Plow the land preceding fall. Apply the farm manure 

 in the spring broadcast and work in with disc or other suitable 

 harrow. Apply formula No. 4 on page 144 if 5 cords of farm 

 manure have been used per acre, or No. 5 or No. 6 if less. A
